Even though it is small forward on the package, it's, well, let's say, unusual for a game with no Internet connection does not start. And after it has previously been downloaded an update from soon 400MB. It may be that this part of the concept. Then it seems clear to me that this is an incredibly bad concept. Who wants to play online, it should do on the PC, in this is - unlike game consoles - a device, which is also thought to be online.
Obviously, the game console is aimed at kids who would like to pick on once by car in the area, I would like here do not have the educational value and any incitement to risikobetontem driving style omit. Is worrying, however, that is written in a local review, now you know finally where what things lägen- in the United States and the. At a condensed map that does not even have the correct proportions
If the game is finally online (yes, it had to be, one would like at least once look into it), so it seems at the mercy of other players who are willing to help one of their own free at the completion of certain missions. Therefore also my suspicion with regard to the target group: it takes seemingly countless so-called "friends" with XBox, the one in the performance of which - support tasks with the car in the game - sometimes quite silly. Such are in a high school student certainly more numerous than in people 40+.
Although I am therefore quite well worn, I consider myself a fairly experienced driver on the console (for example in Forza 2, 3, 4, 5 and Horizon; Gran Turismo 1 to 6), but I was not able to the car Mission fulfillment to move always adequate. And, although the driving behavior seems more likely to go in the arcade because in the simulation direction. Spontaneously, as suggested by the game to find players, to me this never succeeded, so I tried it for some time alone until I was sick.
The flimsy story of a driver of illicit street racing, which is released for the purpose of smuggling in a criminal organization Raser and their infiltration from prison, unable to keep alive the interest in the game. In addition, the setting up of players NFS Underground acts yet known plenty, a little innovation and own dealing with a story would not have hurt Ubisoft. A good story would be the gameplay and especially the motivation certainly been beneficial. Unfortunately, there is no such, the tuning system is confusing and it is difficult to see what is available and what is not.
Unfortunately, also the flood of information in small-scale display boxes is distracting, but unfortunately so do not informative (TV 32 "Full HD). Thus opens up my review sample, the basis of which you can reach a medal Rank (Bronze, Silver or Gold), who in turn replaced obtaining certain upgrades for or the car delivers, hardly transparent. Well, there are fewer points if you use the reset function in the previous lane, but otherwise the system appears as if it were located on withdrawal amphetamine-dependent programmed order withdrawal symptom relief . Constantly ringing, lights and bunts anything around the area, the map is confusing and their zoom function difficult to operate. Forza Horizon (Part 1) while also hosts a rich spectacle, but this one is much worse.
For this much-maligned graphic I can say that I can not find them now so repulsive. The latest generation of consoles is not nearly maxed out, so far are Launch- or short-to-launch titles, as experience has shown with previous consoles, usually not so different from those that run on the maxed old systems. There are day and night cycles, apparently a few other games can Wettereffekte- the poor (unfortunate Forza 5). A pity, however, that the developers of Ubisoft probably use the new possibilities of the next generation of consoles more likely to get as much mass smoothly on the screen. In other words, a lot of cars, a lot of effects, much scenery but not like so much go into graphic detail. There are parallels to AC Unity, another current Ubisoft title: Paris is there a great full city, but only what is full, the Dolle ...
I personally like the game is not, but whoever likes to play arcade racer, is not afraid of over-stimulation and colorful small letters, the conclusion of reviews confronting egalitarian and this has a lot of mates who have the necessary time to assist a while playing, the may find joy in the title well.
